Jersey Overseas Aid (JOA), an independent international aid agency funded by the States of Jersey, celebrates its 50th year in 2018. Its mission is to help reduce poverty and provide humanitarian aid in disasters and emergencies around the world and in doing so raises awareness within the Island, often inviting local residents to take part in aid projects overseas.
Six stamps feature just some of the Jersey Overseas Aid projects that have taken place since the organisation's inception in 1968.
